Yeah it's a custom google search, so they're native google ads. Unfortunately we can't get around it.
jarrenae··on Nukemap
I'm actually in the middle of working on a resource for that exact thing: https://ae.studio/same-day-skunkworks/risk-of-nuclear-disast...

we're collecting better sources, but eventually you should be able to visualize a heatmap if you will of locations at higher risk.

We're working to add variables like wind travel direction, known military bases, etc. - super speculative, but I think it's better than what currently exists.

jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
Yes you are correct. We didn't include the license from work we leaned on, we hadn't added any documentation to Github yet. We'll update it to reflect that.
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
Just to clarify, the first link is me and my teammate who developed this at https://www.ae.studio but with that said, you are correct that we didn't include the license from work we leaned on, we hadn't added any documentation to Github yet. We'll update it to reflect that.
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
I've heard this from a few people, definitely working to clarify it more.

What device/browser? I'd like to troubleshoot if possible.

A phone rotary phone dial? How very 1960s of you.

Quite possibly a result of moving very quickly for MVP and not being too careful with it. We'll push an update removing jQuery soon enough.

Thanks! I've had a few people point this out which is very helpful. it's now on our todo list.
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
We definitely will. Great question - honestly we were moving really quickly for this one and got it out the door as a proof of concept. In a future version we'll move over to react completely.

If you click and hold on a touchpad, it does work while moving in a circular motion. But you'd have to click first.

It would be interesting to use the cursor motion without a click though.

To be fair, even the iPod click wheel did have velocity scrolling. We're working on getting that added. This version doesn't have it quite yet unfortunately.
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
I have support for it in the library, but haven't build more pages on the site to showcase it yet. It's on the list!
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
I think that should be fine. I'm going to be adding more documentation, and the license will be/is open source.

- keep and eye on the repo and we'll be adding more features.

I can't wait to file my taxes with this. Next up, field & keyboard support.
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
I'm in chrome on MacOS and it works for me and others, you don't have JS disabled with an extension do you? Also you have to click and drag around in a circle for it to work.

I've heard that from another firefox user as well. Thanks for the heads up, I'll add it to my list of changes!
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
this may or may not have been my inspiration haha
jarrenae··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
Agreed, I'd like to get the velocity working correctly. I think about how natural it feels on https://tannerv.com/ipod/ we still have a bit to go to get to that point.

And I appreciate the mention about the button support, we're going to add a few more pages to show that functionality, as well as adding in the original click sound as you scroll.

I think it could be something really fun if we get the UX right.

We built this as a bit of a nostalgia trip for people who want to navigate the web using an early 2000's iPod clickwheel. We hope others enjoy it too!
jarrenae··on iMac G4 to M1 conversion process
I'd love to see this brought into a cafe. I wonder how long an M1 Mac Mini runs on a 10000mah battery?
jarrenae··on Clickwheel.js
Thanks for the feedback, I've had a few people run into similar issues. I'll get to work fixing them!

I'm getting a bunch of broken image errors behind each div box. Console: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () overlay__reflection--center.png Looks like your dropbox image hosting is throwing a 404 (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45580175/overlay__reflec...)

We built this to easily see what various titles would look like if they were on the front page of HN. Sometimes the best way to create a title is to see how it fits within the context of the place it will be read.
jarrenae··on Flappy Birdle: Wordle Plus Flappy Bird – A Multitasking Challenge
I've also been frustrated with the guess limit. It's enormously challenging to come up with new words on the spot, while not crashing the bird.
jarrenae··on Flappy Birdle: Wordle Plus Flappy Bird – A Multitasking Challenge
True. I think it'd be better to make the solution accessible earlier rather than later. Past that point, I can increase the difficulty.

Thanks for the feedback!

jarrenae··on Flappy Birdle: Wordle Plus Flappy Bird – A Multitasking Challenge
Also, I've played a bit now and I've successfully gotten the word twice. In reality I think the difficulty is too high for it to have enough of a retention sort of hook.
jarrenae··on Flappy Birdle: Wordle Plus Flappy Bird – A Multitasking Challenge
Thanks! We've already reduced the speed and gravity a lot, as well as expanded the space between the pipes, but I agree. If you play a few times you can start to get the hang of it, but it's nearly impossible.

To some degree it was a development challenge, though I think it'd be good to make it at least a little more playable.

jarrenae··on Number of Satellites Sorted by Country (Visualized)
*Fixed that bug.

I adjusted the circle size to try and make some of the smaller ones more visibly, but it had messed up proportions entirely. I reverted back to smaller circles so it doesn't break like that, you'll just have to read the hover text to see the full information.
